Ukraine Delivers Another 3,800+ Tons of Flour to Aid Syrians

Ukraine has delivered an additional 3,850 tons of wheat flour to Syria as part of the “Grain from Ukraine” initiative led by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This contribution is aimed at addressing food shortages and will support 60,000 Syrians for six months. Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha confirmed the latest shipment on social media, emphasising Ukraine’s commitment to humanitarian aid despite the ongoing war with Russia.

This latest shipment follows an earlier delivery of 500 tons of flour in December. Together, the total contribution of 4,350 tons will provide essential food supplies to struggling Syrian communities. The aid will be distributed in cooperation with the United Nations World Food Programme to ensure it reaches those in need.

The “Grain from Ukraine” programme was launched in response to global food insecurity, which has worsened due to the Russian invasion and its impact on Ukraine’s agricultural exports. Despite the war, Ukraine has continued to prioritise humanitarian efforts, delivering grain and other food products to countries facing critical shortages.

Syria, a long-time ally of Russia, has been heavily dependent on Russian support, including military assistance and food supplies. However, Ukraine’s direct aid to Syrian civilians highlights the contrast between Kyiv’s focus on humanitarian relief and Moscow’s involvement in military interventions across the region. The programme aims not only to provide food security but also to counter Russian narratives that portray Ukraine as an aggressor rather than a nation working to support global stability.
